Fox pulls Fantastic Four 2 from release schedule, disappointing no one
There’s more than enough blame to go around for the box-office failure of Fantastic Four, with the director blaming the studio, the studio blaming the director, and everyone else blaming a steaming garbage pile of a movie. But plucky little 20th Century Fox kept hoping against hope that America’s love affair with the superhero team would eventually begin, leaving Fantastic Four 2 on its planned release calendar long after everyone else snapped back to reality like a man with comically overextended appendages popping back to normal human proportions. But every excited “Flame on!” eventually turns back to a desultory, “Flame out, I guess,” as /Film reports the studio has pulled the planned sequel from its release schedule, absolutely depressing the hell out of nobody.
